Now, we’ve already made our feelings on tartan pretty clear and our opinions haven’t changed, particularly on the “tartan trews” front, as we tend to associate these with elderly golfers and Agyness Deyn, neither of which we particularly want to start emulating.
We’re well aware that our irrational bias against tartan leaves us ill-qualified to judge on this one, though, so we ask you, our readers: what do you think of tartan trousers? Will you be wearing them?
(The ones pictured, by the way, are from New Look, just in case you’re tempted…)
If they wouldn’t make my bum look the size of the K2, I’d wear them. I’m loving the tartan!
Meh, I don’t know. Back in college I loved tartan trousers (especially on guys), but now I’m not so sure anymore. I don’t hate them, but I wouldn’t wear them, and imho no one older than 20 should.
I love them!!
Age-ism showing here, is it?
Anyway, I’d wear them if New Look only sold outside the UK, Ireland and US.
And I’m forty, so sue me.
Hmm, yeah, I kinda like them. I might wear them.
Tartan trousers are fine in a vintage punk design. These definitely belong on the golf course though.
I can usually get away with wearing odd things but I’m not sure if I’d manage these. No…
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
Run away!!! Run away fast!!!!
my sister had a pair of tartan trews when she was a kid, I’m afraid it reminds me of them. Unfortunately I had everything “passed down” even though my legs grew somewhat faster than hers – yes, I spent a couple of winters aged about 10 wearing dodgy, too short tartan trews!
For this reason, I’d have to abstain from them, but do think they can look great, just on other people.
totally would. with attitude.
Eeeep…nah.
I’ve actually been looking for pants like this lately. But as somewhat previously stated, these are mainly for the punk scene.
